We've been trying today to get Arkaos Media Master working on my LP LIve. But to no avail. Does anyone have any info or ideas on this? We used the ArKaos Layer Tiny profile. And attempted to connect to the Mac Mini that was running the software via Artnet(Universe 5). I also had Shownet running for Universes 1-4 - didn't think that would make any difference but I disabled it anyway. I use Artnet regularly to run our Christie Digital projector(also Universe 5) and haven't had any problem with it. Any suggestions would be welcome.

If the subnet is not the start of the problem, there may be another problem.
Palette OS using the Artnet protocol older, there is no agreement in Artnet port assigned byte, if the above design by ArtnetII products must specify the port number or control.

Thanks for the help everyone. Had some time to play and got it working. The biggest stumbling block was the different universe numbering in ArtNet(0=1). Once I got over that hurdle I just had to figure out things such as how to access the various layers(different dmx addresses - 20 per layer). The user manual for MediaMaster was no help at all. The only thing I would like to see now - this is more an Arkaos issue - is more attributes that can be controlled from the console. A good example would be video speed. Unless I've missed something this can only be set in the application.

I'm currently trying to get an ArKaos Media Master on my network with my LP VL. I can get it to work with DMX, but I wanted to try using Artnet so I don't have to go through a node. I think the setup I have is similar to yours, with universes 1-4 for Shownet and universe 5 for Artnet at the console. I've also set the Artnet universe in Media Master to 4. So far I can't get control. I also can't find anything in the Media Master manual regarding the Artnet subnet or count, so I'm not sure what those should be set to. Any ideas? Thanks.

I figured out the issue with the universes, and I think I figured out my other problem. My network was set to 192.168.2.xxx with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. I changed the network over to the 2.0.0.xxx IP range and the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0, but I haven't gotten a chance to test it out yet. I'm hoping that solves the problem. Thanks.
